New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge put his name in the record books Wednesday when he hit his 300th career home run in his 955th game, becoming the fastest player in MLB history to reach the milestone.

The 32-year-old slugged a three-run shot on a 3-0 pitch off White Sox right-hander Chad Kuhl in the top of the eighth inning. Kuhl intentionally walked Juan Soto ahead of Judge to try to set up a possible inning-ending double play. It was Judge’s 43rd home run of the season.

Judge also reached the 300-homer plateau in 3,431 at-bats, 400 fewer than Hall of Famer Babe Ruth’s previous record.

Judge is enjoying another transcendent offensive season and is a heavy favorite to win his second AL MVP in three seasons.

LeBron James has no plans on leaving Los Angeles as a huge contract extension for the basketball legend was just announced.

James, who has been with the Lakers since 2018, agreed to a two-year $97.1 million dollar deal.

The extension makes James the “highest-earning player in NBA history with $532 million in guaranteed money, surpassing Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant.”

This new deal will make James ineligible for a trade, ensuring that the star will still don the purple and gold Lakers jersey until 2025.

• The Mets were shut out in back-to-back games for the first time this season, falling to the Seattle Mariners 4-0 on Saturday night.
• Carlos Mendoza said he’s not concerned with the two-game sample size of the offense struggling, but Brandon Nimmo knows the Mets need to play with a sense of urgency.
• Reed Garrett was officially activated off of the IL, and he made an impact right away
• The Mets added some bullpen depth by bringing back right-hander Vinny Nittoli, who will report to Triple-A.
• Meanwhile in the minors, Mike Vasil struck out eight hitters for Triple-A Syracuse.

Corey Seager hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run sixth inning as the visiting Texas Rangers capitalized on Gerrit Cole’s departure and beat the New York Yankees 9-4 to salvage the second game of a doubleheader Saturday.

New York won the opener 8-0 behind four RBIs from Austin Wells, but the latter game turned significantly for the Rangers after Cole was lifted following the first out of the sixth inning at 90 pitches with the score tied 1-1.

In the span of about six and a half hours, the Yankees showed flashes of the peak of their powers, a team that could out-talent others all the way to the World Series.

And flashes of what could go wrong along the way for a club that still has holes.

An 8-0 win backed by Austin Wells, Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodon, followed by an ugly 9-4 loss to the Rangers that included a five-run, sixth-inning implosion, amounted to a doubleheader split in front of 41,996 in The Bronx for the Yankees (69-49), who have won nine of 13 and generally righted themselves after a lengthy malaise.

He’s called “Money” for a reason.

The 0.32-acre Palm Island lot faces Miami across the Biscayne Bay. It has a private dock, a pool, a hot tub, a stone deck, huge terraces and parking for 10 cars.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules Match took place at the WWE Summer Slam Premium Live Event from Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, OH on Saturday night.

After a back and forth start, Cody caught him with a spring board drop kick followed by an outside dive. Back in the ring, Solo took over and the beat down began. Cody caught him with a Cody cutter and then tossed him to the floor. 

Back in the ring, Cody connected with a flurry of right hands. Cody hit Solo with the steel steps a few times. Jacob Fatu ran out and attacked Cody. Roman Reigns made his return and hit the superman punch to Solo then the spear before leaving the ring. Cody then made the pin.

Aaron Judge’s  two-run home run in the first inning of the Yankees’ 8-3 win over the Blue Jays in the Bronx tied him with the Bambino for a nearly century-old franchise record.

Judge now boasts 16 first-inning home runs this season, matching the number Ruth hit in the opening frame of his famous 60-homer campaign in 1927.

Only Alex Rodriguez, who hit 18 first-inning home runs with Texas in 2001, and Mark McGwire, who hit 17 with St. Louis two years earlier, struck more in a single season in MLB history.

Judge’s 426-foot blast against Toronto’s José Berríos gave the Yankees (66-46) an early 2-1 advantage Saturday, and they led the rest of the way.

It was Judge’s MLB-leading 41st home run of the season, putting him on pace for 59. Judge had 45 home runs through the Yankees’ 112th game of 2022, when he set an American League single-season record with 62.

Canelo Alvarez officially announced his next fight. Alvarez will defend his WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight titles versus Edgar Berlanga on Sept. 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Alvarez (61–2–2, 39 KOs) choosing Berlanga as his opponent comes with some controversy. The Mexican superstar will reportedly be stripped of his IBF title for not facing mandatory challenger William Scull, which mean he will no longer be the undisputed champion at 168 pounds.

He will, however, be defending his WBC belt despite David Benavidez being the WBC’s mandatory challenger and pursuing a shot at Alvarez since 2022.

However, Alvarez bypassed Benavidez and WBA mandatory challenger David Morrell in favor of Jaime Munguia earlier this year and now Berlanga (22–0, 17 KOs).

Alvarez, 34, defeated Munguia by unanimous decision after knocking him down in the fourth round on May 4. He has 39 knockouts in his career, but hasn’t won via knockout since 2021.
